Chapter 103 Stone Beads
He Tingzhou lowered his head and chuckled, "Oh, really? So everything is in your eyes? What about my other personalities?"
As he spoke, He Tingzhou's demeanor changed, as if he had become a different person. His eyes became frivolous, and he swayed his head as he looked Xia Xue up and down. He licked his lips, and his eyes became cruel and intrigued.
"What a perfect specimen! Much better than that Chu Mian. I really don't understand why the boss would be interested in that boring woman."
Xia Xue raised an eyebrow and said smugly to Chu Mian behind her, "See, there are still people who know how to appreciate things."
Chu Mian was extremely nervous at this moment.
"Xiaoxue, don't be careless. This personality is very dangerous. You must be careful."
This was the first time Xia Xue had encountered a person with multiple personality disorder in real life, especially since the other party was a Xuan Master.
"Really? I'm even more excited now."
Chu Mian rolled her eyes.
"With your personality, you're bound to suffer a great loss sooner or later."
Xia Xue nodded knowingly, as if she had thought of something.
"You're absolutely right, I've really learned that the hard way."
However, that was in my previous life.
Chu Mian's eyes flashed, and she glanced thoughtfully at Xia Xue in front of her.
He Tingzhou's hands moved rapidly, creating afterimages as he quickly unleashed hand seals.
"The Secret Art of Love!"
This secret technique requires an extremely special state of mind and the collection of bewitching energy, which is quite troublesome.
"I never expected that He Tingzhou would even master such a difficult secret technique."
Xia Xue chuckled softly, her spiritual sense instantly erupting. He Tingzhou let out a muffled groan, looking at Xia Xue with a horrified expression.
"Spiritual consciousness? You're only a Xuan Shi (a cultivator specializing in profound knowledge), how could you possibly possess spiritual consciousness?"
Xia Xue raised an eyebrow and said, "Is being exceptionally talented not good enough?"
He Tingzhou fell silent.
There's really no explanation for this.
Just like how he can master so many secret techniques in a short period of time, which seems incredible to others, but to him it is as simple as eating and drinking. This is his unique talent.
"As expected, no matter how many faces a secret technique is used, it cannot escape the opponent's discerning eyes."
Then we can only resort to methods beyond the Thousand Faces.
He Tingzhou flipped his right hand, revealing a gray bead.
"Offer blood to the pearl, swiftly!"
Xia Xue recognized it; this was the most basic incantation for controlling treasures.
It seems that He Tingzhou also doesn't know how to use it.
This clumsy method is the only way to barely get it running.
Xia Xue's face lit up with a bright smile.
"They've finally forced them to reveal their hand; my premonition was right."
Xia Xue stared at the gray stone bead that had been sacrificed with blood and was now floating in front of He Tingzhou.
"Is this the opportunity I've been sensing?"
The mocking look in Xia Xue's eyes vanished instantly.
"Now that the opportunity has presented itself, it's time for this game to end."
As she spoke, Xia Xue's figure vanished from the spot in an instant. When she reappeared, she was already behind He Tingzhou. With a single palm strike, He Tingzhou's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
Xia Xue reacted quickly, grabbing the gray stone bead before it returned to He Tingzhou's body.
"Items compatible with the 'Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong' have been detected. Treasure chest is being generated..."
Xia Xue opened her palm, glanced at the spot where the stone bead had disappeared, and smiled faintly.
"It's actually the 'Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong'! What a pleasant surprise!"
"Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" is her main practice method.
Each upgrade brings about a qualitative change for her.
Chu Mian blinked, not understanding why Xia Xue suddenly ran behind He Tingzhou again, and even less understanding why He Tingzhou suddenly collapsed and couldn't get up.
"Um, is this over?"
Xia Xue stretched and yawned, looking exhausted, and said, "Yes, I finally used all my strength to defeat the Great Demon King and save the princess. Your Highness, you have to make it up to me."
Chu Mian rolled her eyes.
"If I ever believe you again, I'm a dog!"
Chu Mian glanced at the unconscious He Tingzhou, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She shook her head, sighed, and asked, "Xiao Xue, what do you plan to do with He Tingzhou?"
Xia Xue leaned against the wall behind her, fiddling with her phone as she casually replied, "Of course he's in jail. What, are we going to kill him?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
"That's good. Handing him over to the state will give him a reasonable punishment."
……
Chu Nan's office.
Xia Jue, sporting dark circles under her eyes, covered the curtain with her hand, turned to look at the sun outside, and let out a big yawn.
Looking at Xia Jue's appearance, Chu Nan shook his head with a smile: "Your body isn't what it used to be. You used to be able to stay awake for three days and three nights and still be full of energy."
Xia Jue scratched his head sheepishly.
"I have indeed been slacking off lately, but I will increase my training in the future."
Xia Jue seemed to remember something, so she leaned forward and whispered, "Boss, what's the situation with the Ancheng Investigation Bureau?"
Chu Nan glanced at Xia Jue and said, "It's nothing. This is just another attempt by the higher-ups. Like your Black Shield, we'll try it out in one city first. If it works, we'll promote it further."
Xia Jue glanced at Old Chen, then leaned even closer and asked softly, "So, they're our competitors?"
Chu Nan smiled and shook his head, saying, "You two are different. They recruit cultivators who are willing to join the government, while you recruit cultivators who are unwilling to join the government. Both are serving the country, but with different focuses."
Xia Jue suddenly realized and said, "I understand."
It seems the country attaches great importance to metaphysical cultivation.
I just don't understand why we didn't pay attention to it before, but suddenly we're starting to pay so much attention to it now.
They even created a special department specifically for this purpose, and made an exception by adding a special company called Black Shield, which is a private enterprise but carries out national missions.
Just then, the bell rang.
"Minor Snow?"
Xia Jue looked surprised when she saw the caller ID.
She knew that Xia Xue was the type who wouldn't visit unless she needed something.
If you contact her, it's definitely something important.
Xia Jue's heart skipped a beat when he thought of the reasons he had contacted her the previous times.
"No way, we've run into danger again?"
Wasn't it said that the Wraithfire was extinguished?
How could Xia Xue still be in danger?
Xia Jue answered the phone nervously.
"What? You captured the leader of the Thousand Faces alive?"
Xia Jue exclaimed in surprise, turned to look at the startled Chu Nan, nodded apologetically, moved to the window, covered the microphone, and whispered, "What happened? How did you provoke Qianmian again? What, it wasn't you, it was him who attacked Chu Mian, and you intervened to protect Chu Mian?"
Xia Jue breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't Xia Xue who caused it.
If the Netherfire has just been extinguished and another Thousand Faces appears, her small frame won't be able to withstand it.
"Chu Mian?"
Chu Nan walked up to Xia Jue at some point and asked in a deep voice.
"What's wrong with A-Mian?"
